Famous for its seaside hot springs, this place is rich in minerals and great for your skin and health. The hot spring street has a traditional vibe, and you can enjoy beautiful views of the Sea of Japan. It's an ideal spot to relax and unwind.

Dogo Beer Hall
Located across from the Dogo Onsen Honkan, Dogo Beer Hall is a brewery-owned establishment that is popular for offering a refreshing drink after soaking in the ancient waters of Dogo Onsen.
The place has a bit of a retro Japanese feel, and it's really chill—no pressure at all. Great spot to relax and chat after a soak! Prices aren't too bad either, so the value is pretty good. If you're a beer lover or just want to try some local flavors, you should definitely grab a drink here.

Higo Yokamon Market
Opened in 2018, Higo Yokamon Market is a commercial facility located under the elevated tracks of JR Kumamoto Station, spanning 7,500 square meters and housing about 60 attractive stores.
There are so many local Kumamoto foods and unique products here—I wanted to take everything home! The vibe is fantastic and it really feels like Kumamoto. Loved it!

Hakata Daruma Main Store
Established in 1963, "Hakata Daruma Main Store" is a renowned Hakata ramen restaurant where the second-generation owner has inherited the traditional taste created by his father.
The tonkotsu broth is rich and silky, and the thin noodles are super springy. The chashu just melts in your mouth 😍😍. Everything is perfectly balanced—it's a flavor you won't forget!
